Gaganyaan Episode 10: Can reusable rockets shape Indias future in human spaceflight? | The Scope

In the concluding episode of The Scopes 10-part Gaganyaan series, we look beyond Indias first human spaceflight mission to the technology that could shape what comes next: reusable rockets. From the economics of disposable launch systems and SpaceXs Falcon 9 to ISROs Reusable Launch Vehicle programme and Pushpak landing experiments, the episode examines the challenges and possibilities of reusability. Could reusable launch vehicles enable more frequent crewed missions and help India build a sustained presence in Earth orbit? This episode explores what may come after Gaganyaan.
